Locus Founder builds and runs a whole business for you. Most AI tools only build you a landing page, Locus Founder interviews you, designs the brand, and ships a full-stack app. Locus Founder doesn't stop there; it sets up Stripe payments, sources your product, creates and publishes ads, and so much more. Locus Founder is always working in the background and pings you to approve any decisions or spending. No templates, no forms, no code. Locus Founder is backed by YCombinator.

An interesting concept. I'd be curious to know what level of control and approval I have before it starts making decisions or spending money. Congrats on the launch!
@henry_habib Hey Henry, thank you! Regarding your question, a user has full control over where they are spending. Every time a spend occurs, the user must approve the spend, as well as being notified of how much was spent.
@madil Hi Muhammad! Before the agent ever spends, it always asks for your approval. From approving a website build or launching an ad, the user is always in control and knows exactly where their credits are being spent. Regarding your product sourcing question, yes! We have a dropshipping integration with multiple suppliers, including Printify, Wholesale2B, CJ Dropshipping, and more! This is a catalog of over 1.8 million products for a user to pick from!

What kinds of decisions does it ask you to approve most often, like ad spend and pricing or product changes?
@karimbenkeroum Hi Karim, all of the above! Anything that involves spending requires human approval. That might be deploying a website, making a new product, or launching an ad. The human stays in the loop, so you know where your money is going.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Cole, founder and CEO of Locus
I started Locus because of a frustration I couldn't shake: the hardest part of starting a business isn't the idea, it's everything between the idea and a live business that actually takes money. Domain, landing page, payments, brand, ads, outreach, and finding the first customers. I watched so many good ideas die in that gap, including a few of my own.
So we built Locus Founder. It's an AI agent you talk to like a cofounder. You text it an idea, and it does the real work:
🧠 Interviews you about your audience and taste first, so you never get a generic template; every business is 1 of 1.
🛠️ Ships a real full-stack app with auth, a database, and payments
💳 Wires up Stripe so you can take money on day one
🎨 Builds and publishes your brand, ad creatives, and cold outreach
🤖 Then runs in the background and only pings you when it needs a decision or a spend approval
The thing I'm proudest of: you can run the whole thing from your phone over text, before you even make an account.
It's live today. Text your idea and watch it work live at locusfounder.com.
We're still early, and the feedback of this community means a lot to me, especially on the onboarding. What would it take for you to trust an agent to build and run a business for you?
Super excited for this launch!

great product!
@adi_singh13 Wouldn't be possible without the amazing team at AgentMail!
Finally, builts an agent that actually does the grunt work instead of just handing me another generic to-do list. Love this. @cole_dermott
